Ducklings 26/27
Ducklings’ Gross Motor Fun!
Our Ducklings class had a fantastic time taking part in a gross motor activity on the astro! 🦆
The children enjoyed a range of fun activities to develop their gross motor skills, including throwing balls at a target, navigating an obstacle course, and practising kicking and catching a large ball. These activities helped to develop their coordination, balance and control, while encouraging them to be active and have lots of fun!
This was also our first visit to the astro, and we were so proud of how sensibly the children walked to and from the classroom. They were fantastic at following instructions and showing how to stay safe when moving around our school.
Well done, Ducklings! We are so proud of you all! ⭐
Group Time Fun in Ducklings Nursery! 🔴🔵
We have been enjoying starting our group times in Ducklings Nursery! The children now know whether they are part of the Red Group or the Blue Group, and we have been having lots of fun learning together.
To begin our group sessions, we have been focusing on developing our listening skills through a variety of exciting activities.
👂 Listening Games: We listened carefully to bottles to explore the difference between loud and quiet sounds.
🐻 Listening Bag: We explored our listening bag and used our voices to make different animal sounds, thinking carefully about the sounds each animal makes.
🎵 Musical Fun: We used a range of instruments and practised following simple instructions, such as “stop” and “go”.
🥁 Guess the Instrument: We put our listening skills to the test by guessing which instruments were being played while they were hidden from view!
These activities are helping the children to develop their listening and attention skills, recognise different sounds, and follow simple instructions, all while having lots of fun together.
We look forward to sharing more of our group time adventures with you! 💙❤️
Our Wonderful Families
In Ducklings Nursery Class this week we have been celebrating their families!
The children enjoyed talking about the special people in their lives and sharing who makes up their family. They then got creative and drew beautiful pictures of their family members, carefully thinking about their faces and the people who are important to them.
It was lovely to see their unique ideas and personalities shine through in their artwork. Every family is special, and we are so proud of the children for sharing a little piece of their world with us!
Our First Full week
What a fantastic first full week we have had! We are so proud of all our Ducklings and how well they have settled into nursery. They have picked up our new routines so quickly, and it has been wonderful to see them becoming more confident and comfortable each day.
We have also started our first topic, “All About Me” and have been busy creating our very own self-portraits! The children have all been looking in the mirror and discussing what colour of eyes and hair they have whilst noticing other features too, such as freckles and glasses. We are so very proud of their first artistic masterpieces and look forward to seeing them develop in this area over the school year.
